There’s not going to be a mass exodus from New York but, even if there were, people wouldn’t generally be going to Louisiana. In 2023, more than twice as many New Yorkers moved to *Alaska* as Louisiana. www.pbump.net/o/americans-...

Trump has played golf more often in five years than Obama did in eight, outpacing his first term by playing golf on 1 in 4 days during his second term and about 1 in 5 over the two terms. He’s on pace to play more than Obama did *in this term alone*.

Got a fundraising pitch centered on the imaginary $2,000 tariff checks. With money going (in part) to Trump's committee, it frames the checks as a *rebate* — as in, money returned back to the contributor. A rare bit of honesty.

Donald Trump has now officially passed Obama's eight-year total of rounds of golf — in less than five years. I've added a chart to my tracker of Trump's golf/property visits to show just how far past Obama he's getting.

McDonald’s franchisees should feel “lucky” Trump won? Beef is up 14% since January, a bigger jump than in 2021, thanks in part to tariffs. Meanwhile, tariffs are slowing the economy — and keeping lower-income customers at home. www.ms.now/opinion/msnb...
